41 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Industry Collaboration through Training Collaboration is key to addressing broad, long-standing issues. Intel co-founded and serves on the working group of the multi-industry, multi-stakeholder Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI), which aims to protect and promote the rights of vulnerable workers. In partnership with RLI and its members, Intel helped create the Practical Guide to Due Diligence on Recruitment Fees in International Supply Chains , which provides guidelines and examples of best practices to achieve fee repayment. The RLI has established the Responsible Recruiting Program, a recruiting agent maturity model.  In 2021, Intel further sponsored virtual training sessions, “Mitigating Risks of Forced Labor and Impacts of COVID-19 on Migrant Workers in the Supply Chain,“ and will continue to sponsor them in 2022. For more information on our work on human rights in our supply chain, see “ Respecting Human Rights “ in the Our Business section of this report. 2030 Goal: Supply Chain Human Rights Description. Scale our supplier responsibility programs to ensure respect for human rights across 100% of our tier 1 contracted suppliers and higher risk tier 2 suppliers. 1   Baseline. At the beginning of 2020, 18% of our tier 1 contracted suppliers had been assessed and engaged in our supplier responsibility programs. By the end of 2020, 8% of our contracted suppliers had completed the requirements of the goal. Progress in 2021. In 2021, we completed initial risk profiles on 100% of tier 1 contracted suppliers, and 28% were determined to be higher risk. Those higher risk suppliers have been included in the roadmap for follow-up actions according to our risk model. Overall, we increased to 24% completion toward our RISE goal, and remain on track to 100% completion by 2030. Progress was made in audits for higher risk suppliers, assessments for medium risk suppliers, and—for the first time—RBA training for lower risk suppliers. Looking Ahead. In 2022, our target is to assess, validate, and—where needed—mitigate the risk level of an additional 12% of suppliers. We are also evaluating the impact of IDM2.0 supply chain changes. In addition, we will continue to assess and audit high-risk tier 2 suppliers on Intel sites. 1 Tier 1 suppliers are companies from which Intel makes direct purchases (approximately 9,000 suppliers). Tier 1 contracted suppliers are subject to formal agreements with Intel based on the products and services provided and spends. Tier 2 suppliers are companies from which Intel’s tier 1 suppliers make direct purchases. Cumulative Progress Towards RISE Goal According to the RBA, the payment of recruitment fees by workers to obtain work is one of the most widespread factors that can contribute to situations of forced labor. Intel helped create a guide that details best practices for repayment. Introduction Our Business Inclusive Sustainable Enabling Appendix Responsible intel.com/responsibility
